Disturbing Inquest Into Peculiar People Fatality
In North Woolwich an inquest examined Elizabeth Benton aged forty who died from brain effusion after a fall or blow. The coroner faulted her husband for neglect and urged severe censure while noting Mrs Benton refused medical help, trusting in the Lord. The jury ruled the death accidental but condemned husband for gross negligence.
